/qa/ - Question & Answer

I HECKIN FOUND IT!!!!!

THE PERFECT ERA FOR GLOBAL WAR AND CONQUEST!!!!

Muskets and cannons, industrial revolution is allowed but NO cartridges NOR artillery shells.

Dangerous combo
^ideologism instead of secularism
^collectivism instead of weapons that empower the individual
^drill and discipline instead of no drilling and no discipline.

the biggest mistake elites made was separating church and state because when they did that they ended up with armies of mercenaries only loyal to a paycheck, and quick to flee/desert if no pay or when situations look dire.

And no, you do not need cultish fanaticism either, and cultish fanaticism wouldn't benefit a faction anyway because BURNOUT exists and will cause rebellion if your force everyone to pray a zillion times a day.
